Well.

I've just learned that there was a shooting in San Bernardino today.

Not thirty minutes from where I live.

It's that close.

God.

I don't know anyone over there but it's goddamn close and that's more than a little scary.

I know the feeling.

There was a bomb scare at the library both today and yesterday.

1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post

It's not that close.

Close enough that I've been over there before but far enough away that it's not going to get close.

It's at least two whole cities away.

There's something surreal about seeing neighborhoods you used to pass through everyday on the news.

It took us one mass shooting to restrict firearms. And the Liberal Party was the one to do it. I can't imagine the sheer amount of cultural ingraining, cognitive dissonance and anal retention that keeps Obama from takin' yer gerns.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

it seems in poor taste to start talking how stupid american gun control is RIGHT AS this whole thing is happening

it just kind of shows a lack of respect

That's kind of exactly it though.

Its cultural ingraining. It's mostly echoing off of an article about how different country's see guns. In America when our forefather's picked up a gun and decided to fight back against the British it immediately became a symbol of personal empowerment and freedom. What they mean by the "Right to Bear Arms" is the right to stand up and fight against things that would threaten to bind you into a way of life you don't want, and also the right to just general self defense.

Of course that meaning's gotten watered down over the years, and idiots often use guns on people but that's kinda something America continues to choose to live with, because we are a country that was built on the idea of "Living however the fuck we want and damn anyone who says otherwise.", and guns are part of that.
